ChartSwap Terms of Service

Terms of Service – Requestors (Last Updated 03/11/2024)

Welcome to ChartSwap.
ChartSwap is a medical records transfer platform between a requester of medical or billing records and a person or entity that owns or controls the requested records, designed to allow the secure transfer of records electronically. These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) govern how you, as a requester of records (submitted on behalf of yourself, your client, or your organization) (hereinafter, the “Requester”) will use ChartSwap. When you click “I AGREE” upon creating an account, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. The Service is merely one way to connect requestors and providers electronically. If you do not want to be part of ChartSwap, then do not create an account, and instead deal directly with the provider of the records you are requesting.

AGREEMENT

  1. ChartSwap Services.
    1. ChartSwap MRT. ChartSwap MRT is a service that lets requestors make direct requests to providers, pay any charges assessed by the provider, track the status of requests, and, if elected, receive an instant download of records.
    2. CloudNetwork. CloudNetwork is a service that provides access to an extended network of providers, outside of the ChartSwap MRT network – the “CloudNetwork Providers.” CloudNetwork places requests to CloudNetwork Providers on behalf of the requestor, facilitates payment of charges assessed by the CloudNetwork Provider, and allows the requestor to track the status of requests and download records.
    3. Record Copy Sales. ChartSwap, on behalf of record retrieval companies, offers a service whereby record copies are available for purchase via the ChartSwap platform (“Record Copy Sales”). Record Copies available on ChartSwap via this service were requested and obtained outside of the ChartSwap platform. ChartSwap was not part of the request to the provider in these instances and is merely acting as a platform for counsel to easily pay, download and/or obtain hard copies/CDs of the Record Copies.
    4. Medical Canvassing. Medical Canvassing is a tool designed to target medical facilities in a specific geographic area to determine when and where an individual may (or may not) have received treatment(s). Upon discovering treating facilities, allows ChartSwap to more effectively target formal records requests, whether via authorization or subpoena.
    5. Indexing by ChartSwap. Records indexing is a tool that enables claims and legal professionals to send records already obtained for complete organization. The end result is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) searchable set of review-ready records that are organized, indexed, and bookmarked. My.SmartOrg is an exclusive feature, a HIPAA compliant, for each web-based user portal.
    6. Chronology by ChartSwap. Records chronology is a tool that allows legal and claims professionals to reduce paper handling, simplify records organization and accelerate records analysis with a fully indexed chronology for every file.
    7. Medical Summary by ChartSwap. Medical summary is a tool that provides a complete medical chronology of the records, enabling quick identification of providers, type of record, and medical events critical to your analysis.
    8. Retrieval Portal. Retrieval portal is a web-based application that operates as a records retrieval portal, which allows users to request medical, hospital, billing, payroll, personnel, insurance claims, Medicare, VA, Social Security, police department, fire department, OSHA, business records, and employment records.
    9. The Service. ChartSwap MRT, CloudNetwork and Medical Canvassing as each may be updated from time to time, are referred to herein as the “Service.” Requestor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Service is completely voluntary; (b) ChartSwap does not own or control any of the records sought; and (c) ChartSwap is not acting on behalf of CloudNetwork Providers or ChartSwap MRT Providers (collectively referred to herein as the “Provider(s)”) in any way.
  2. Representations About Requester. Requestor represents and warrants that (a) it has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement as, or on behalf of, a Requester; and (b) the information provided in connection with the Service will be current, true, accurate, supportable and complete. Each time Requester utilizes the Service, Requester is binding itself, its organization, and its client, to this Agreement, regardless of whether Requester has used the Service previously for different clients.
  3. Authorized Users. If applicable, Requester may allow its employees or independent contractors to use the Service on behalf of Requester (“Authorized Users”). As a condition to such use, Authorized Users must be required to agree to and abide by this Agreement. Requester bears the responsibility for ensuring that all Authorized Users agree to and abide by this Agreement and, pursuant to Section 17 below, shall indemnify and hold ChartSwap harmless in the event that one of its Authorized Users violates this Agreement. Requester and Authorized Users shall immediately notify ChartSwap in the event that Requester or an Authorized User becomes aware of any violation of the terms of this Agreement. Requester shall be liable for any breach of the Agreement by any Authorized User.
  4. Records. ChartSwap does not claim ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, links, works of authorship, or any other materials that Provider(s) posts to or shares via the Service (collectively, “Records”), and makes no representations with respect to such Records, including the accuracy and completeness of the Records. By requesting Records through the Service, Requestor certifies that it has obtained all required consents to access such Records and agrees to access and use them only as permitted by applicable law. In addition, Requestor acknowledges that Providers have the right to revoke the use of Records provided under certain circumstances, including, without limitation, where the wrong records have been provided, and hereby agrees to delete any such Records upon request.
  5. Data Ownership. Requester shall own all right, title, and interest in and to any data that is collected by ChartSwap from Requester or its Authorized Users in connection with Requester’s use of the Service (“Data”). Requester grants and agrees to grant to ChartSwap a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use such Data (a) in order to provide the Service to Requester; (b) for statistical use (provided that such data is not personally identifiable); and (c) as necessary to monitor and improve the Service.
  6. Confidentiality. Requester acknowledges that the Service and any other proprietary or confidential information provided to Requester by ChartSwap constitutes valuable proprietary information and trade secrets of ChartSwap. Requester agrees to preserve the confidential nature of such Confidential Information by retaining and using the Confidential Information in trust and confidence, solely for its internal use and as authorized hereby, and by using the same degree of protection that such party uses to protect similar proprietary and confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. ChartSwap shall have the right to obtain an injunction (without having to post a bond) to prevent any breach or continued breach of this section. Requester acknowledges that ChartSwap operates through the platform SalesForce.com (“SFDC”), and transmits Data through the system maintained by SFDC (the “SFDC System”). Requester further acknowledges that Requestor’s Data may be transmitted outside of the SFDC System, and to the extent that such Data is transmitted outside of the SFDC System, SFDC is not responsible for the privacy, security or integrity of that Data.
  7. Custodian Fees. Provider(s) may impose fees for Records in connection with each request (the “Custodian Fee”). For convenience, Requestor pays the Custodian Fee via the Service. ChartSwap does not set or have any control over the Custodian Fees being charged by the Provider and merely passes through the invoice to Requestor. Any dispute Requestor has with the Custodian Fee should and must be resolved with the Provider directly.
  8. Record Copy Sales. Record retrieval vendors may impose fees for Record Copy Sales (e.g., electronic, hard copy, and CD). Purchasing Record Copies via ChartSwap is at the discretion of the party being offered to purchase the Record Copies. There are other avenues through which the Record Copies can be obtained (outside of ChartSwap). ChartSwap does not set or have any control over the Record Copy fees being charged by the record retrieval vendors. Any dispute should and must be resolved with the record retrieval vendor directly.
  9. Medical Canvassing. Medical Canvassing is not guaranteed to locate treatment providers or dates. Medical Canvassing is designed to target medical facilities based on mileage from a starting address as provided by the ordering party. Medical Canvassing may return treatment locations and treatment dates only if data exists at the facilities being canvassed. Ordering party fully understands and acknowledges that ChartSwap has no control as to whether relevant treatment data may exist at a facility. Efforts will be made to determine whether patient records exist, and, if appropriate, gain authorization to retrieve applicable treatment data. In the event that no treatment data is located, ordering party fully understands and acknowledges that all fees paid at the time of submission are still valid and non-refundable.
  10. ChartSwap’s Technology.
    • ChartSwap shall provide Requester users (“Users”) access to the ChartSwap portal, a web-based application that operates as a records retrieval portal (the “Portal”), which allows Users to request medical, hospital, billing, payroll, personnel, insurance claims, Medicare, VA, Social Security, police department, fire department, OSHA, business records, and employment records (“Records”); view the status of updates and tracking details for their orders; download Records; store Records in a HIPAA compliant and SOC 2, Type II certified environment; and upload and share documents. Subject to the exceptions detailed herein, the Portal shall be available to Users 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365/366 days a year. Users shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Portal, as described therein.
    • ChartSwap shall provide Users access to the Portal and provide notifications when updated Records are ready for review;
  11. ChartSwap Fees. Any fees paid by Requestor to its agent, ChartSwap, for the Service are voluntary and distinct from the Custodian Fee, and are not subject to any of the statutory or regulatory limits placed upon Custodian Fees. Requester acknowledges that ChartSwap is acting as an agent of Requester when it electronically delivers records via the Service and charges associated ChartSwap fees.
    1. ChartSwap Instant Download Fee. If Requestor elects to receive Records via “Instant Download” for a ChartSwap MRT request, ChartSwap will charge the “ChartSwap Instant Download Fee” in accordance with ChartSwap’s fee schedule in effect at the time of the request, the current version of which can be found here. The ChartSwap Instant Download Fee will be paid by Requestor for each request prior to downloading the Records. If Requestor elects to receive Records via mail, no ChartSwap Instant Download Fee will be charged.
    2. CloudNetwork Fee. For CloudNetwork orders, ChartSwap will charge a fee (the “CloudNetwork Fee”) in accordance with ChartSwap’s fee schedule in effect at the time of the order, the current version of which can be found here. The CloudNetwork Fee will be paid by Requestor at the initiation of the order and is nonrefundable, even if the Provider does not have the Records responsive to the request. From time to time a provider included in the CloudNetwork may no longer be able to accept orders from CloudNetwork and in such event, ChartSwap will refund the CloudNetwork Fee.
  12. Payment Terms. All Fees shall be paid in U.S. Dollars and shall be charged to the payment method provided to ChartSwap. Requester may elect to connect its account to ChartSwap’s third-party payment processors (e.g., PayPal) in order to enable the payments of the Fees contemplated above. Requester agrees and acknowledges that it is solely responsible for payment of any Custodian Fees. All fees are exclusive of applicable sales, excise, use or similar taxes. Requester shall pay such taxes either directly or to ChartSwap or the Provider, as applicable, or as otherwise required by law or regulation.
